Turbidity Curtain Solutions

GEI Works’ Type 1 Contractor and DOT Turbidity Curtain provide a practical solution for containing silt and other displaced particles in a confined zone for short-term projects. Using our anchoring system and other accessories, the curtain is kept securely in place until the job is finished. This light duty turbidity barrier is best suited for calm water locations with no waves and low silt levels. Designed for depths between 3 and 10ft, the Type 1 Turbidity curtain is an excellent fit for ponds, shallow lakes, swales, and creeks with calm water.

GEI Works’ Type 2 DOT, HD and Permeable Turbidity Curtains provide a durable solution for containing silt, turbidity, and displaced particles for projects around your site and with DOT requirements. Designed for moving water, waves or moderate conditions, these curtains add increased strength to containment or control areas. They feature impermeable fabric, a bottom ballast chain, and grommet section connectors that allows water to pass though, throughout the depth of the skirt. Type 2 DOT models are typically recommended for use in areas with flows up to 1 knot.

The Barge Silt Curtain is a localized turbidity control system designed to keep displaced sediment and solids contained during barge dredging operations. Made from impermeable fabric material, curtains are installed along the side of the barge to keep sediment contained to a central area. This allows sediment to fully settle before leaving the dredging location.

Triton permeable silt curtains are specifically designed for silt and turbidity control in areas with fast water, waves, or demanding conditions. Permeable turbidity curtains (also known as silt curtain or silt barriers) feature a geotextile filter skirt or window to allow faster water flow through the barrier while still containing silt and turbid water. This reduces the pressure put on the silt screen by allowing water to continue flowing through the curtain while filtering silt and giving it time to settle. All Triton silt barriers are made in the USA.

Piling Protectors are a great containment option for any location looking to perform maintenance or repair on docks and pilings. Constructed to fit neatly around pilings, these protectors feature an impermeable fabric material that can effectively catch paint, moss, growth, and other contaminants in the areas. This keeps pollutants contained in the source and prevents unwanted materials from spreading around your water location.
